My first show since before Covid came.   The War On Drugs.   

I had a tough day before I ended up going.  

Overall, I think it had a good effect on me.  

I love this band for so many reasons.  Amongst the most heartfelt bands out there, and I think the whole term "dad rock" being thrown around needs to end because just because someone's dad could like it doesn't make something corny or safe. 

And also it is always fun when they close the gate of the parking garage for the night before you leave.

In other news, Joel Embiid is a mensch.  An undrafted rookie, Jose Alvarado, picked up a technical foul while playing against him and got fined for the exchange.  Instead of harboring a grudge, he paid the rookie's fine, since that guy is probably on one of those 10-day contracts.  What a mensch. 

 

I've been a big chill wave guy for a while.  

Hooray, I'm an early bird!! It's not letting me submit my state taxes yet though, since not everything is available yet....

 

I was very upset by the hostage situation at a synagogue in Texas.  It seems that the hostages are safe now.  Anyway, trying unwind with some SNL.  

I have a friend who texted me in response to my being upset about that, "No one got killed? Not even one?!"     

I am so patient with people but sometimes you wonder about when you need to cut someone off despite your efforts to deal with them and find the good in them....

I'm looking forward to a new album from this guy.  

 Also, am I the only one who is worried about the possibility of potential follow up riots on the anniversary of January 6th? I think Trump would incite a riot again in no time.  Maybe not on the same scale, but small ones from his supporters wherever they can be found.

I named Low's 2021 album Hey What as my favorite of that year.  They made a new video.
